Yeah of course... drums! I've got an old kit in my practice room so will be sure to give that a go. Looking forward to playing some keys over the top of some grooves too. Lots of options a.

Yeah I know.. scary but i'm pretty sure I can restrain myself.. but can you really class it as an effects pedal? It's more of a sampler / recording device.
Ah yes the bright lights of New world! I'll be rolling in loose change

it is a effects pedal! its a delay too =) those heedrush pedals are amazing. i definitely need one again =)

one pair set the gain for the low end, another for the high. take out the high pair and the overall gain is set by the low pair. in operation you get less distortion and singing sustain, but more low end, and the ability to actually use the distortion and filter controls without searing your eardrums.

but there are times where i want to punctuate something with a blast of offensive buzzsaw rawk, hence the additional footswitch.

next plan is to swap the resistors with trimpots and maybe a cap change.

That thing stays permanently on. 'Tis good stuff, can nail any Ampeg tone quite convincingly, and sounds great direct into an interface/DI/whatever. Much more flexible than the Sansamp Bass DI, the EQ and Character controls really allow some tone sculpting...plus the fact that you can get some truly blistering grind going on. Even sounds killer on guitar.

On the negative side, the DC jack is a bit soft on it's "clampability" though, not sure why. And the first one I had kicked the bucket and died about 1 month after purchase...but Tech21 sent a complete replacement circuit board (apparently they consider these "unfixable").

If I find a few spare $100 notes on the ground I might get one of the programmable versions.

You are obviously yet another who is sold on these units,I think its time to get in on the must have GAS list,thanks too

Hey btw checked out your link and had a listen and look,impressed at the couple of tunes you got there. I can see what you mean about competing with 2 guitars,but your bass is still cutting it through sweet !
And in the pics it looks like you play your Ric upside down ?

Here's my current line-up - from the bass to the Morley A & B pedal - a clean "B" loop runs to the minimixer - Keeley Compressor- Sansamp bass driver. The A loop is to the Qtron - Boss Compressor (only used rarely to tame the signal for the next pedal - Boss SYB5 bass synth - Ibanez AW7 autowah - Crowther hotcake overdrive - Ibanez FL301 (flying fingers 18v model same as the TS808 line), to the minimixer, (blend 2 signals to taste) and on to the Keeley
